Abstract A revised checklist, with maps showing the known distribution and local frequency of the 49 species in the Hungarian fauna is presented. A short research history and a bibliography of Hungarian mosquitoes are also included in the paper. Key words: Hungary, mosquito fauna Introduction In Hungary in the last centuries there are numerous reports on the presence of mosquito species and their distribution. Based on this, discussion of the knowledge of the Hungarian mosquito fauna is presented. These results and maps complete the knowledge drawn by several former reviews [e.g. Croatia – Merdic et al. (2004), Poland – Kubica-Biemat (1999), Slovakia – Jalili (2000), Országh et al. (2001), European Russia – Gomostaeva (2000), Rumania – Nicolescu et al. (2002a-b, 2003a-b)] regarding the distribution of Central- and Eastern-European species. Hydrography, climate and land-use (percentage of natural habitats is high by European comparison) of Hungary are characterized by different requirements and well adapted for habitation by mosquitoes. Local pattern of the mosquito habitats in the landscape structure are indicated by Somogyi (1997). Most of the rivers of the country (93,000 square-kilometres) are bordered by flood-plains. The length of the two large rivers is over 1,000 kilometres (Danube: 417 km, River Tisza: 600 km – 14.5 and 60 percent of the total lengths). In Hungary a further 2,500 small-rivers and streams exist, the overall length of which is 25,000 km. Danube flood may happen in all months, but at the River Tisza it is unlikely because of the features of that watershed area. Hungarian small streams are characterized by considerable fluctuation in discharge. It means both long dry intervals and short extreme flooded periods (mainly for streams of the plains in rainy early-summers). The total area of potentially flooded land around rivers and streams is 1,500 square-kilometres. The number of natural and artificial lakes above 0.5 hectares with marginal and contacted habitats is 1,200. Three of them (Lake Balaton, Lake Fertő and Lake Velence) are characterized by large mosquito breeding sites in their marginal zone and the neighbouring areas. Activity of these breeding sites is determined by both the rainfall and water-level of the lakes. The very first data (Culex pipiens) from Hungary (from the settlement of Debrecen) was published by Török (1870). Fászl (1878) also recorded Cx. pipiens and a further 3 species: Cx.

ciliaris (now Aedes cinereus), Cx. annulipes (now Ochlerotatus annulipes), Cx. annulata (now Culiseta annulata). Kowarz (1883) added Anopheles maculipennis to the known mosquito fauna. Thalhammer (1900) published records of the first discovery in Hungary of a further 11 species: An. nigripes (now An. plumbeus), Cx. vexans (now Ae. vexans), Cx. cantans (now Oc. cantans), Cx. dorsalis (now Oc. dorsalis) and Cx. ornatus (now Oc. geniculatus). The Hungarian mosquito fauna was summarized for the first time by Kertész (1904) (including 14 species with occurrences). Regarding the first reports of Cx. richiardii (now Coquillettidia richiardii) and Cx. modestus, we have to neglect Kertész’ data based on the work of Edwards (1921). Systematic research of the Hungarian mosquitoes began in the 1930s, mainly related to the epidemiology of malaria. Detection of An. atroparvus and An. messeae by Lőrincz & Mihályi (1937) was the first result of that project. As a result of frequent examination of Lake Balaton, occurrence data of a further 7 [An. bifurcatus (now An. claviger), Ae. caspius (now Oc. caspius), Ae. cataphylla (now Oc. cataphylla), Ae. leucomelas (now Oc. leucomelas), Ae. diversus (now Oc. rusticus), Ae. lateralis (now Oc. sticticus), Cx. apicalis (now Cx. territans)] and later, an additional 8 [Ae. detritus (Oc. detritus), Ae. excrucians (now Oc. excrucians), Ae. variegatus (now Oc. flavescens), Cx. hortensis, Theobaldia longiareolata (now Cs. longiareolata), Theobaldia morsitans (now Cs. morsitans), Orthopodomyia albionensis (now Orthopodomyia pulchripalpis) és Uranotaenia unguiculata] species were found for the first time in Hungary (Mihályi 1939, 1941). After World War II, mosquito research focused on Lake Balaton. In that time Mihályi & Soós (1952) recorded An. hyrcanus, Ae. pulchritarsis (now Oc. pulchritarsis), Ae. refiki (now Oc. refiki), Ae. nemorosus (now Oc. communis), Cx. torrentium and Theobaldia alaskaensis (now Cs. alaskaensis) as species new to the Hungarian fauna. In the 1950s and 1960s the number of the recorded species continued to increase: Cx. theileri – Mihályi et al. (1952); Ae. hungaricus (now Oc. hungaricus) – Mihályi (1955a); An. algeriensis, Ae. punctor (now Oc. punctor), Cx. martinii, Theobaldia subochrea (now Cs. subochrea) – Mihályi (1955b); Theobaldia glaphyroptera (now Cs. glaphyroptera) – Gulyás (1958); Ae. nigrinus (now Oc. nigrinus) – Mihályi (1959); Cx. mimeticus – Mihályi & Gulyás (1963). The first specimens of Cx. pipiens biotype molestus were collected by Mihályi (1955b). Detailed mapping of the mosquito species has been carried out from the 1970s to the present time. Most of the results of this work were obtained by the first author of this paper. In the publications relating to mosquitoes (Tóth, 1977, 1981, 1991, 2001a-b, 2003a-b, Tóth & Sáringer, 1997, 2002) several relevant data can be found in his papers about the dipteran taxon (Tóth, 1972, 1975, 1978, 1985, 1990, 1992a-b, 1995a-b, 1999, 2000, 2002). Synthesis by Tóth (2004) of the above mentioned examined the papers of Bartal (1906), Mann (1941), Szilády (1941), Zoltai (1957), Zoltai & Szabó (1968), Gulyás (1958), Gulyás & Zoltai (1959), Sztankay-Gulyás & Zoltai (1959a, 1959b), Zilahi-Sebess (1961), Szabó (1964), Erőss (1988), Sáringer et al. (1998), Kuroli (2002), and recorded Cs. fumipennis, Oc. pullatus and Cs. ochroptera for the first time in Hungary. The presence of Oc. surcoufi in the fauna was discovered by Tóth (2009a).

For the compilation of the new distribution maps we took into consideration the recent studies of Bogyó & Szabó (2005), Kenyeres & Tóth (2005), Szepesszentgyörgyi & Rentsendorj (2006), Bogyó (2007), Szabó (2007a-b) and Tóth (2006, 2009b, 2010, 2011). UTM maps (10×10 km grids) have been drawn based on all the known distribution data of the species with the use of BioTér software (Dévai et al., 2000). Species recorded in Hungary A total of 49 mosquito species have been recorded in Hungary, belonging to 8 genera, as follows: Anopheles (7), Aedes (3), Ochlerotatus (20), Coquillettidia (1), Culex (8), Culiseta (8), Orthopodomyia (1) and Uranotaenia (1). The checklist was compiled according to the current list of Snow & Ramsdale (2003).

Distribution of the species We have presented the local frequencies of the recorded species to give the most accurate picture of the Hungarian mosquito fauna (Table 1). Values were determined with the use of the data of 194,898 larvae, 145,332 biting-females and 358,124 imagos collected by light trap, carbon-dioxide baited trap and netting (over than 50,000 samples). Frequencies of the species in the studied UTM-quadrates (591 from the overall 1,052) were also calculated. See distribution maps in Appendix.

Notes Published Hungarian occurrences of Oc. communis must be considered doubtful, because it is confirmed that several of them are based on misidentifications. Recording by Mihályi & Soós (1952) is the first valid report of presence in the Hungarian fauna.

Oc. detritus has been collected in Hungary just as adults. Oc. pullatus, Cx. mimeticus, Cs. fumipennis, Cs. ochroptera have been collected in Hungary just as larvae. Anopheles labranchiae Falleroni, 1926 may occur in Hungary (Mihályi & Gulyás, 1963) but this needs confirmation. The same is also true for An. sacharovi Favre, 1903, another member of the Anopheles Maculipennis Complex. Aedes albopictus (Skuse 1894) and Ae. aegypti (Linnaeus 1762) are absent from the Hungarian mosquito fauna according to our actual knowledge. Based on the climatic and dispersion prognoses they may appear in Hungary due to global warming and/or introduction.

The Hungarian mosquito checklist may be still incomplete. It is important to note that Ae. geminus Peus, 1970 handled by Kenyeres & Tóth (2008) as a provisional element of the fauna has recently been collected in Hungary by Zoltán Soltész (personal communication) but has not yet been published. Species which are presumably present in the country but have not been discovered are Oc. behningi (Martini, 1926), Oc. riparius (Dyar & Knab, 1907) and Oc. intrudens (Dyar, 1919). In addition to the above mentioned species, the discovery of Oc. cyprius (Ludlow, 1919), Oc. diantaeus (Howard, Dyar & Knab, 1912), Cx. laticinctus Edwards, 1913 and Coquillettidia buxtoni (Edwards, 1923) is also possible.
